Nadie es profeta en su tierra - no one is a prophet in their own land. We dedicate this album to the pioneer side of each person, that drives him or her to explore foreign lands, whether traveling, getting up and setting foot outside the house, or traversing emotional terrain within. And to the tiny artist inside each of us, who closely observes our heaviest dreams, who, rather than ignoring our deepest struggles, acknowledges, accepts and celebrates them, who appreciates solitude, who sees beauty and finds inspiration amidst loss and sadness, and who champions our childlike fantasies, aspirations and dreams.

Special thanks to: musical guests Alex Shaw (vocals on "Magalenha" and percussion and vocals on "Luz da Bahia") and Livia Cassel (vocals on "Luz da Bahia"), our families, our home city, Philadelphia, for warmly welcoming this unusual project, Tom Spiker for bringing the songs to life, Lora for the wonderful photos, Dusting for his magical paper cutting, Ju for our logo, the big guy at Budísimo for his patience, Alma for feeding us, and our fans for showing up, dancing, listening, clapping and making this process worthwhile.
